“The governor’s directive is a critical health safety request to protect those who are most vulnerable to coronavirus and we fully expect Clevelanders will adhere to it, “said Mayor Frank G. Jackson. “No one is immune to this virus, keep your social distance and stay home.”

During this time, essential services such as Police, Fire, EMS, waste collection and Utilities are fully operational. There are still limited hours for the public to access some City buildings like City Hall for limited services and we have moved to an essential workforce until further notice.
